Trader Joe's used to have kholrabi "noodles" and they were so good with their tukery meatballs, some marinara and of course cheese but they stopped carrying the "noodles"

Thank you! She works hard and hopefully she'll be a little happier in this new place.

Sounds like you are a busy bee. If I can lighten your load at all, including by being boots on the ground, let me know. I'm happy to help.

Good afternoon all and Happy Tuesday,
Life has been, well, lifey.
I just returned from a week in New Orleans with Paula. The owner of my building is selling so I am on the hunt for a new apartment. Again. I'm helping with my mom more since her stroke. Depression has been a real drag. I'm starting to become proactive on my medical health again. I had become reactive. Finances are a concern. Everything will work out like it's supposed to. It always does.
Heatwave here. I'm used to it from my trip. It's kinda nice to have Chicago to myself with everyone sheltering in place with AC.
QOTD- I like root vegetables. I like the Roots. ?Love and The Roots are playing Ravinia this week.
Accountability: I ate all of New Orleans. I have continued my sweet tooth since returning but that needs to change.
Weight: up 2lbs from the trip. Up 5lbs since April.
Steps: 10,076. I've been killing the step game. I averaged 15k-20k steps everyday I was out of town.
B: 1/2 lox and bagel. Chobani Coconut Yogurt. Monster energy zero.
L: PP Shake.
D: Tacos in a bowl. Salad. Grapes.

Hi everybody! Checking in quick today and then I have to scramble to get the house ready for the grands this afternoon. This will be the first time we've had the baby here since she's become mobile so there is a lot to protect her from. They all will be picking raspberries and the unripe red currants, if I know them. That's the whole reason I garden...to get the joy of seeing them eat it. I should set a stopwatch on the red currants, they decimated them last year in under fifteen minutes I think.
QOTD- I got (very unpleasantly) punished for not eating veggies as a young child so when Mom joined this new thing called Weigh****chers in the 60's we all had to learn to eat root veggies too. (And liver, and cold green beans from the can for a snack-ugh.) She never cooked parsnips so I learned to love them as an adult. Next year I want to try to grow Japanese Burdock for my son who is a Japanophile. Kohlrabi isn't technically a root veggie but I adore them fresh in the summer dipped in a yummy dressing. Also jicama...yum, yum, yum. But a root veggie slow roasted with meat in the winter is so good.
B-chocolate protein/collagen shake
L-1/2 c ff cottage cheese, sprinkle of sf raspberry jello, 1/2 c raspberries
D-Chaos. If they stay for supper I'll be too busy to eat. DD and two of the grands have Celiac, Hubby refuses to eat anything gf as a substitute.
Enjoy your Tuesday and keep cool!
Good Morning All! Just moving along through the week so far. I have a few things I need to work on the next few days before we start our next round of payroll. The heat is coming back after a break for the weekend, which I am glad we took advantage of. Em is moving to anew this coming weekend and hopefully my role this round will mostly be indoord working on unpacking/organizing.
QOTD: I am not fond of many root veggies. I use some for "noodles" at times but that's about it.
My menu is the same as yesterday and I am taking a exercise rest day but my vits and water on track.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning, everyone!
I don't remember whether I said this, but we are going on a cruise leaving Sunday evening. The itinerary is that we fly to Iceland, sail to Greenland, down through the Maritime provinces of Canada and wind up in New York City. All of our kids are coming.
Because of this, I have a bunch of stuff I need to take care of: work client stuff, non-client stuff that is time sensitive, errands and packing. Right now, I am at the car dealership getting my oil changed. After, I am headed to Barnes and Noble to get some books for the plane rides.
So far, so good with my meds: of the 5, 2 were eligible for refills, 2 are $20 a month prescriptions, and 1 is going to require an approval from my insurance because it's an expensive prescription. Even if I have to self pay that , it will be cheaper than a flight and car rental.
QOTD: I love those, including the obscure ones that Mary mentioned.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: turkey
Dinner: hamburgers
Have a great day, all!

I worked with with a lady who only drank juice. She said once that her beet juice tasted like dirt. When my husband was on chemo he could not eat most food but could drink juice.
I had a juicer and made him juice everyday. I used beets, carrots, apples, lots of fruit and vegetables.
I love root vegetables and try to eat them often. I do want beets pickled but buy them already pickled. I am always looking for recipes and ideas like honey on roast carrots. Sometimes I go to restaurants where they accompany a meal with parsnips or turnips and prepare them do well.

Good mornin y'all!
I had to cancel my PT appointment today. I'm feeling not so great. I feel really bad about it but it is what it is now. I'll just do the exercises here later today.
We have the thrift store we frequent coming to pick up our old TV stand, recliner and a doll house. It'll be so nice to get it out of here BUT we, meaning me, will have to put together the new one that's been sitting in the garage. Not particularly looking forward to that lol. I had a rough night of very little sleep. It's been raining all night off and on. It's humid enough to take a bite out of the air. We are not used to humidity!
Jim, hope you got your meds figured out!
have a good one y'all!
QOTD:I like everything but beets. I hate them. A lot lol. I love everything else pretty much.
B: breakfast burrito and coffee...oh and two small molasses cookies ugh.
L: thinking an egg with a slice of cheese and maybe a piece of toast?
D: no clue at this point.
